        Tragedy of the commons. Even if, and when people realize the problem; no country will act because other countries aren’t acting. I have hope we will act, I’m afraid it may be too late.

            In America, you have to search for what’s actually going on in France. Even then, it’s sparse and not in depth. Europeans in general seem to be more climate aware then Americans. And we need this behemoth of ignorant Yankees to become aware before any meaningful change will come. Are you doing okay there?

                This neoliberal capitalism won the battle, but the people will eventually win the war. France seems to be the vanguard. Change has to start somewhere.

                    Thought experiment: What if FDR wasn’t able to pass the New Deal to assuage communism in America? America joins with the Soviet Union to defeat the Nazis and forms an alliance with them and eventually China. Where would we be now?
